Arrival Time:

Unknown HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR LIVE ON-CAMPUS OR REGIONAL AUDITION Auditionees should wear dancewear that does not impede movement of the body and that is form-fitting so that the faculty adjudicators can see alignment and movement particularities. We suggest full-length, non-footed tights and form-fitting tops or leotards. No loose-fitting t-shirts, baggy pants or shorts. All candidates should bring both jazz shoes and ballet slippers. Auditionees will dance in bare feet for the modern portion of the audition. Pointe shoes are required only if they are needed for the solo. All candidates should prepare a 90-120 second solo in their choice of ballet, modern or jazz technique and must provide music either on a cellphone, computer or USB drive. Solos are performed at the request of the faculty following the morning audition technique classes. Auditionees will be dismissed if they are not asked to perform their solo.

There are three types of auditions this year: on-campus auditions, regional auditions and third-party auditions at dance events via various high schools and conferences.
